GOT SIX, MUCH TO REUTERS' REGRET

IDF kills six Palestinian gunmen in Tulkarm
Six Palestinian gunmen were killed by undercover Israeli troops on Sunday evening in the West Bank city of Tulkarm.  Two of the gunmen killed were Hani Aweida and Mahdi Tambuz, both senior Al Aksa Brigade commanders in the city. Three Palestinian shop owners and two children were wounded during gunbattles that erupted between the special Border Police units and the gunmen.

The IDF Spokesman said the special Border Police forces were on operational duty in the city to nab fugitives when they encountered the terrorists and a gunbattle broke out between the sides. The undercover units (Mista'aravim) broke into Tulkarm at about 8:30 p.m. Acting on intelligence from the Shin Bet, they spotted the fugitives they were after standing near a coffee shop in a Tulkarm neighborhood. A gunbattle erupted as the Israeli troops attacked the Palestinian gunmen, who returned fire.

Two Palestinians were arrested by security forces and Palestinian reports claim two gunmen fled.  According to security officials Tambuz was responsible for numerous terror attacks inside Israel and was in the midst of planning further attacks.  The officials said Tambuz received instructions and funds from Hizbullah operatives.

REUTERS ALSO REPORTED THE STORY, BUT WITH A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SLANT.  UNCLE STICKY BREAKS IT DOWN FOR YOU:

"Let's count out what Reuters has done to slant the above article:

TitleIsraeli Missile Strike on Gaza Adds to Tension

Reader should understand that Israel is doing this for fun and that there is no provocation for such actions. 

First line: Israeli soldiers shot dead six Palestinians

Reader to understand that these are simply Palestinians.  Not terrorists.  Them Jews are randomly killing people, women and children for fun.  When the US kills an al Qaeda leader, do they call them Yemenites?  No.  In Reueter's case, they call them, militants, but that's another story.

Picture: Small child wounded in hospital

Reader should perceive this as Jews targeting and killing Palestinian kids.  Soulless Jews.  Blood drinkers.  I don't think that I have EVER seen Rueters should a Jewish baby blown to bits after a bus was blown up, or a cafe exploded.

Paragraph 2: Later an Israeli F-16 warplane fired two missiles at a militant stronghold

Reader should consider this a place where freedom fighters hang out and talk about foreign policy.

Paragraph 5: Palestinian security sources said that Israeli undercover troops ambushed eight militants of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and killed six of them in a gunbattle in the northern West Bank town of Tulkarm, among them two commanders.

Reader should see that those sneaky Jews are acting like terrorists because they ambushed those wacky Palestinians.

Paragraph six: The Israeli army said that border policeman had clashed with gunmen, killing six and capturing two.

Reader should understand that these terrorists are merely "gunmen".  How bad can that really be?  But hey, the Israelis capture them, and don't burn them alive, fillet them, rip their bodies to pieces and hold them for randsome let alone drag them through the streets.  By that's just editorializing I guess.

Paragraph 7: The raid was one of Israel's deadliest in recent weeks and drew immediate calls for revenge from angry crowds that gathered at the site as Israeli helicopters patrolled overhead.

Reader should see that this is about murder, not self defense.

Paragraph 8: A telephone caller from the militant group threatened vengeance for what he called "this ugly crime."

Reader should get it through their thick skulls!

Paragraph 9: In southern Gaza, militants fired an anti-tank rocket at a Jewish settlement wounding six Israelis, including children, medics and a military source said.

Reader should not expect any pictures of this.  And since they are only militants who are doing this...it's not really that big of a deal.  Not that Arafar or others have anything to do with this.  By the way, no mention of just how many children.   But wait, I am mistaken...

Paragraph nine: Israeli soldiers fired back at nearby Khan Younis, wounding seven Palestinians, five of them children, medics said.

Reader, you see... the Israelis got 5 children.  Aren't those Jews awful?  No circumstances of the event are important for you to understand, just that these children might have been playing kick the Jew-skull in a grassy park 3 miles from the "militant" stronghold.

Paragraph 11: Residents said the home belonged to a Hamas militant, but it was not clear whether he was there. Medics said a four-year-old boy was hurt when he fell from the force of the blast in a nearby building, but there were no other casualties.

Reader should understand that because a medic said that this was the case, that we will print it and not confirm the story.  The Palestinians as you all should know by now, are children of God.  God bless them.I could go on....but I am going to puke!"
